    Inspiring Beyond Belief!

    A MUST SEE movie for all followers of Jesus. Even atheists will appreciate hearing this man's stories as the film absolutely drips with authenticity. A perfect blend of actual footage, re-enactments, interviews and story telling will inspire you to share it with others. Missing pieces include information about his family and what he did when not walking. For example, did he walk for 38 straight years or incrementally? Did he work between cross walks to support himself or did others support him? I assure you that the answers to these questions are irrelevant to enjoying the movie. I've met Arthur Blessitt, his wife Denise and daughter Sophia and they are genuine followers of Jesus. Arthur Blessitt is a living Hall of Famer and the Real Deal! Enjoy the movie!

    You'll Want S'mores Instead of Popcorn

    You'll want s'mores instead of popcorn for this film. As soon as the house lights went down, Arthur Blessitt's warm persona took over, transporting me to another place. The experience of the film reminded me of those summer campfires, exchanging stories over roasting marshmallows. It was a truly moving experience. A bit like a real-life version of Forrest Gump, Blessitt's stories of his travels touch upon the very personal to events of global significance, from the profound to the absurd -- all with a dash of strange heart-warming whimsy. Yet the film isn't without moments of "edge-of-your-seat" intensity as Arthur sucks you in with his stories of...

    Story comes Thru - awful production value

    I was looking forward to seeing this film ... I remember seeing Arthur Blessitt on TBN back in the early 80's and was just fascinated with his tales of his travels around the world with the cross. He had such an infectious personality ... there was always so much energy and joy he radiated. Thankfully the story of his life comes across but the production value of the film was unfortunately awful. Bad editing and sound mixing to name a few ... which is a shame. I left the theatre wanting a Jesus STICKER .. like the ones he hands out on the streets to the people he meets. I wish they would have handed them out as we left the theatre!
